Abstract
A lysozyme-oregano essential oil (Lys-OEO) antibacterial emulsion was developed via ultrasonic treatment. Based on the general emulsion materials of ovalbumin (OVA) and inulin (IN), the addition of Lys and OEO successfully inhibited the growth of E. coli and S. aureus, two representatives of which were Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria respectively. The emulsion system in this study was designed to compensate for the limitation that Lys could only act on Gram-positive bacteria, and the stability of the emulsion was improved using ultrasonic treatment. The optimal amounts among OVA, Lys and OEO were found to be the mass ratio of 1:1 (Lys to OVA) and 20% (w/w) OEO. The ultrasonic treatment at the power of 200, 400, 600, and 800 W and time length of 10 min improved the stability of emulsion, in which the surface tension was below 6.04 mN/m and the Turbiscan stability index (TSI) did not exceed 10. The multiple light scattering showed that sonicated emulsions were less prone to delamination; salt stability and pH stability of emulsions were improved, CLSM image showed emulsion as oil-in-water type. In the meantime, the particles of the emulsions were found to become smaller and more uniform with ultrasonic treatment. The best dispersion and stability of the emulsion were both achieved at 600 W with a zeta potential of 7.7 mV, the smallest particle size and the most uniform particle distribution.

Abstract
Clanis Bilineata Tingtauica Mell Protein (CBTMP) is a naturally high-quality insect protein resource, while its poor emulsification has limited its application in food industry. In order to change the present situation, in this research, the ultrasonic pretreatment (0 W, 200 W, 400 W, 600 W, and 800 W) method was used to improve the emulsification properties of CBTMP. Results indicated that ultrasound treatment especially at 400 W could significantly change the particle sizes, further increase the content of sulfhydryl group and surface hydrophobicity. The emulsification properties of emulsions were enhanced (from 4.16 ± 1.07 m2/g to 27.62 ± 2.20 m2/g) by sonicated CBTMP solution. Moreover, the physical stability of the emulsions to salt stress and centrifugation treatment was also promoted. Additionally, rheology revealed that a stronger network was formed at 400 W and all samples exhibited frequency-dependent and amplitude-dependent properties. The experiment demonstrated that ultrasound pretreatment was an effective means to improve the emulsification properties of CBTMP and it could provide a promising perspective for the application of CBTMP in food industry.

Abstract
Pumpkin seed oil (PSO), which is a valuable compound with high nutritional value used for the prevention of various chronic diseases, is prone to oxidation. In this work, small and uniform (su) ovalbumin (OVA) and pectin (PEC) were used to stabilize PSO in the form of an emulsion. The results showed that suOVA-PEC-PSO emulsion with a droplet size of 9.82 ± 0.05 μm was successfully self-assembled from PSO, PEC, and suOVA solution (with a droplet size of 230.13 ± 14.10 nm) treated with 300 W ultrasound, owing to the formation of a more stable interfacial film on the surface of droplets. The interfacial, rheological, emulsifying, and antioxidant properties of the suOVA-PES-PSO emulsions were excellent, owing to the synergistic effects between PEC and suOVA solution. Moreover, the physical stability of the suOVA-PEC-PSO emulsions to salt stress, a freeze-thaw cycle, and heat treatment was also increased and the oxidation of linolenic acid was notably delayed. These results have extended the food-related applications of OVA and PSO, and provide a promising foundation for further exploration of the self-assembly of composite emulsions by small and uniform proteins.

Abstract
Due to its special structure, the cyclic lipopeptide surfactin showed remarkable responsiveness to stimuli such as pH, temperature and metal ions. However, few studies investigated the effect of fermented by-products on the conformational change and interfacial assembly of surfactin. Here, the effect of acetoin, a primary metabolite of Bacillus subtilis, on the conformational change and interfacial assembly of surfactin was studied in detail. Surface tension measurements showed that the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of surfactin increased from 1.14 × 10-5 to 4.32 × 10-5 M in the presence of acetoin. Moreover, acetoin has increased the interfacial tension of surfactin aqueous solution-crude oil from 1.08 mN/m to 3.01 mN/m. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra and dynamic light-scattering (DLS) further demonstrated that acetoin had induced the conformational transition of surfactin from β-sheet to β-turn structure, and caused surfactin forming some larger micelle aggregations. Afterwards, it was further found that acetoin decreased the oil sand cleaning efficiency of surfactin from 59.7% to 6.6%, and deteriorated the O/W emulsion stability and altered the silicate wettability toward less water wet state. Based on the experimental results, a possible mechanism of the interaction between surfactin and acetoin was proposed.
